पिता!


गुज़र चुका जो काफिला,
क्यूँ धूल उस पर की रोज़ साफ करते हो।
याद है तुम्हें, जब कंधे पे बैठे थे तुम उनके,
तब कहा था, बेटा तुम खामखां ही डरते हो।
बे झिझक तब तुमने अपनी बांहे फैलाई थीं,
हवा से बातें कर रही, तब तुम्हारी ऊंचाई थी।

तो क्या हुआ आज कद तुम्हारा बढ़ गया,
ऊचाई का एहसास तो उन्हीं ने दिलाया था।
कुछ दूर तुम भी साथ चल लो उनके,
कंधा उनका भी थक कर आज झुक आया है।
माना कि अब हवा से गुफ्तगू ना करा सकेंगे वो,
पर तूफान से लड़ना उन्हीं ने तुमको सिखाया है।

हो सकता है, अब तुम्हें सहारे की जरूरत नहीं,
ज़िद्दी फर्माईशे को अब आने की खाईश नहीं|
पर मत भूलना, क़दमों पर चलना उन्हीं ने सिखाया है,
खड़े रह सको तुम, इस काबिल बनाया है।
आज कदम उनके हिलें तो संभाल लेना तुम,
उन्होंने पूरा जीवन इस भरोसे पे टिकाया है।

For People who have dreams !

It's just a few days from now, A dreamer that I met, Who spoke so much about it, Still I was not convinced… But the Sparks in his eyes, Did have the confidence, To rule the world, With his Herculean influence.. I have seen the spark, Somewhere, sometime before, I have known that heart, As Greek as Achille’s roar, Maybe it's just the belief which he carries, May be he was born for numerous magics… I now know I belong here, To dream it big and make it rare.. In built so strong I see a kid, He’s a dreamer with his own tricks.. Now I am sure of miracle’s sphere, This is where the history will gear, The team so strong in bonded knit Let's be the ones with that Perfect hit...

A letter to Sisters!

Image
Dear Sisters, This is the letter every sister would want to write to their sisters. This is the time when I see you both getting to an era of responsibility with your adulthood! You live in a society which will always ask you to look your best, stand straight, speak less and speak soft.  The Society would pretty much know what you are best at then your own-self. They will know which Profession you should choose and which not; what kind of friends and how many of them you should have and whom not and to work or not to.. This is a web of complexities which starts its fabrication right from the time you take birth as a girl. This Society, people around you will try really hard to fit you in a certain mould. But its upto you how you take it. I know you have equally worked hard for your life, your career, your individuality just as our brothers. I know you too look out to be acknowledged for what you are and what you can do. You may do things a little differently but beautif...

I felt as if I have Known her before...

An eve with a celebration it was, When I met this cute little girl. Happiness and joy was all around, Music to my ears just sounded too loud. Then a kid with a talent they say, Peeped through a window with a brighter face. She saw me standing there, Didn't want me to notice her. Quite, misterious and addictively sweet, Those big eyes, that I couldn't read. I walked up to her and said 'Hello' I wanted time to stop, I didn't want to let her go. Her lips got stretched with a beautiful smile, It was a mirror I was standing in, placed in her eyes. I felt as if I have known her sometime That innocence I have felt before , so divine. She raised her arms with flowers clutched in her fingers, I wondered if she was leaving me surprised. That acceptance, that pleasure, I have been looking out for a while in a moment, she gifted me a treasure of intact pride. I wish could capture the moment tamed, but the stupid device c...
